It’s that time to change the fluid that Fiat tell you it’s lifetime. Nothing last for a lifetime. Did it at 100k miles and it’s so much smoother now. Basically like butter. Why did I waited this long? Hah. Out with the stock mopar fluid and in with Redline (full synthetic) 75W90 GL4.
Thank you @subletdriver. 🙂

You looking for Tony? Well, no luck for you then. He packed his things and left Fiat, a long time ago. While there’s no official records. We pretty sure he works at Volkswagen.

I went off road and started working on a magazine version which had a few great spreads incl. a great cover but hit a few curbs and soon realized that it’s just too darn much work and not enough time.

Oh lawd! That yellow is off the hook. Just take our money and shut up. Wait, how much did you say? lol.
Our modified Abarth (U.S. version) might be as quick or even quicker. We really don’t know but we’re up for that challenge.
It’s crap (like a Nissan Versa) that we’re not at the IAA in Frankfurt, Hall 6, Pavillon 5...

We put Antonio on the wall and hit him with some hard questions no other journalist dare to ask. Okay, maybe Jorge Ramos from Univision would but we got here first (sorry, Jorge) so let’s get started. Ready? Here we go.
FC: Great looking car, did you get it new or used?
A: New.
FC: Did you have to wait a long...
